Old Crow Medicine Show - Evening Sun

In the alley dogs are barking, chickens crowing down the lane

And I feel just like that rooster and his mournful old refrain

With sun down on my shoulders just a hangin’ round the yard

I’ll be leaving here tomorrow, gonna catch an empty car



There’s a thousand constellations in that brilliant beaming sky

But the earth is just one station in that lonesome starry line

And there’s a distant whistle blowing down a rusty stretch of track

And I’m just an empty coal car on that train not coming back





-Chorus-

But I hate to see that evening sun go down

When it’s lonesome coming down on my trail

And I know this train will take me where I’m bound

But I hate to see that evening sun go down





The sidewalks have their streetlamps the city has her glow

The poor boy has the moonlight walking in his shadow

But the nighttime can’t be trusted to return the morning sun

My eyes have not adjusted to this black face I got on



-Chorus-



Don’t the nighttime make you lonesome for that early morning sun

For the light upon that engine reaching towards the dawn

You can spend your whole life racing down rusty railroad line

It’s the setting sun you’re chasing in that dark and rolling sky



-Chorus-
